THE BoNNY GREEN ISLE.

Erin, thy silent tear never shall cease,
Erin, thy langzid smile meier shall increase,
Till, like the rainbow's light,
Thy various tlnts unite,
And form in heavens sight
One arch OF peace!
Poor Tom Moorel the arch of
peace has never spanned the bright
blue dome that heavens his bonny
Erin. 1t never will be visible while
the English nation holds title.deed
upon the products of Ireland and
cruelty exacts from her people enor-
nous and destructive tribute. The
Irish are people proud of their
martyrs, faithful to their promises,
devoted to their legends, and wise
and generous. The annals of histo-
ry, however, do not exhibit q nation
that has been so meanly t. Gated. The
hum of industry that orce ladened
each breeze has almost been hushed;
the National Airs which so often
have caused the eye to flash and the
bosom to heaye, have been silenced

picture Of English tyranny, usurpa-
ton and oppression The days of
Cromwell are passed. This is the
XIX century. The world should
grow humane as nations become ed
ucated and the blessed Gospel dis
pels the cruelty and ignorance which
marked the blind fanaticism of the
Dark and Middle Ages. 1t is shame
full on the part of England to evict
hundreds of families-to drive them
from their lowly habitations, hungry,
destitute and halfelothed. Mothers
stand under the starry heavens and
hug their little starving babes TO their
bosoms children cuddle together in
open fields; fathers curse the hard
hearted men that the law clothes in
the panoply of authority. God speed
the day when Erin shall again feel
the healthy throb of prosperity; when
shall ascend the vesper hymns of de-
votion and happiness. Too long has
Ireland suffered The night must
soon end and then will come the glo-
rious dawn. Gladstone and Parnell
are joining the links of justice and
humanity into chain that will bind
the oppressors of the Irish patriots
forever. Then shall the Shamrock
flourish in glory and the bonny green
Isle shall be, what God intended it
to be-the land of the patriot and
poet.

May be felt in Erin, ever warm and bright.
God prosper the cause!-oh, it cannot but

The Next Presidency.

The effect of the death of General
Logan upon the republican presidential
canvass of 1883 is widely discussed.
Thus far the journals that are friendly
to Mr.. Blaine have had little to say, but
several of the other sort have considered
the matter and are quite well agreed
that the event has strengthened the
already strong candidacy of Mr.. Blaine.
1t appears that while the personal re-
lations of General Logan and Mr..
Blaine were cordial, and it is by no
means certain that the former would
have entered the field as against Mr.
Blaine, yet he much desired the presi-
dental nomination. 1t is stated that
General Logan had formed no organ
ization for this purpose, but that he
had repeatedly declared that he would
not take the second place on the old
ticket, and if he had lived movement
might have been started in his favor.
1t is to be feared that one effect of
General Logan's death 'Wlll be the
weakening of the republican party in
Illinois, for he had stronger following
in that state than any other leading
republican. 1t is probable that Illinois
would have sent solid delegation in
his favor to the national convention
and that he would have had enough
support from other states to have held
the balance of power, and so controlled
the nomination. 1t is now believed
that this support will be mainly trans
ferred to Mr.. Blaine. There are al
present but three candidates men
toned, other than Mr.. Blaine, who
appear TO have possible chance for the
omination-Senators Sherman, Har
rison and Allison. The two last, how

interstate commerce bill. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser summarizes the opinions of
several senators on the chances of its
passage. Senator Platt thinks there
will be disagreement on accepting
the conference report regarding the
inhibition of pooling. Senator Aldrich
looks for disagreement on the long
and short-haul clauses. Senators Gull
lom and Allison expect the adoption of
the conference report. Senator Spooner
thinks the bill will pass, but would like
to see itmodified. Senator Sherman in

1t speaks well for humanity that

the anarchists may be over sentimental
and have no true appreciation of the Just
demands of public policy, but they have
hearts and are not ashamed to let the
fact be known.
They fail to appreciate the fact, how
ever. that these cases are altogether be-
yond the pale of ordinary murder cases.
These anarchists represent an idea which
at best is chimerical, and has never
worked successfully in this world except
in theory. In heir blind and devoted
fashion they may have labored to uplift
the working classes, but they wished to
do it by tearing down institutions which
have engendered and diffused more happi-
ness and prosperity than any other human
governmental continuance has ever done.
The red flag, to typify blood, was their
standard and the deadly bomb was their

Meanwhile Cheyenne, the metropolis Of

THE question of the hour is: What
will Governor Oglesby do2

THE remark attributed to Ex-Governor
Warren in a Chicago interview was alto
gether gratuitous in its reflections upon
Governor Moonlight. That the people OF
Wyoming should prefer to have a home
man appointed to fill the gubernatorial
chair is nothing more than natural, but
this feeling would have applied with
equal force to any other man in the coun-
try. 1t was not SO much a question Of
individuals as it was a question of locality.
Since he has come here Governor Moon
light has completely identified himself with
the interests of Wyoming Territory, which,
as a Western man, he has found no diff
Guilty in doing. Under all the surround
ing circumstances, if Mr.. Warren is cor
rectly reported, we canno help regarding
his remarks as not only gratuitous, but
devoid of that tactful shrewdness which
has given him more than a local fame.
